Inauguration Weather Forecast: Blustery for Obama

A few flurries possible

11:35 a.m. update: Some of the latest guidance suggests we could see a few snow flurries on Inauguration Day -- as the northwest edge of the coastal storm grazes us. We'll update this forecast as necessary.

From earlier: With subfreezing air temperatures and wind chills in the teens to near 20, it is going to be one cold day. We can't emphasize that enough -- especially for outdoor spectators spending 4, 6, and 8 hours in the elements. Wearing the proper attire will be critical for comfort and safety.

As low pressure spins up off the Carolina coast, winds should steadily increase throughout the day. A light breeze from the north and northwest at 10 mph in the morning will become a moderate breeze of 15 mph in the afternoon, with higher gusts. In the open space on the Mall, there will be little protection from the wind.

On the plus side, it does look to be dry, albeit mostly cloudy. The storm that will kick up the winds will most likely stay too far east to give us snow, although it may bring snow as close as southeast Virginia - close enough to keep us forecasters a little nervous. Confidence: Medium-High

Hopefully the snow showers forecast for Monday will move into Tuesday. That way the chilling effect will cool off all the Obalitors and their Obagasm's and the immaculate coronation will be safe for viewing by the "children".

The infatuation, the Immaculate deception... whatever you want to call it, while the unemployed dole class of citizens go to Washington DC to worship their Messiah the tax paying Americans will be working overtime to pay for the massive elaborate celebration of his nothingness and the soon to be higher taxes, bigger government and endless bailouts.

I think that the earlier comments misses the Weather Related and should be flagged for abuse, Anyhow the wind may scare me off, especially with "children". Went to the concert and it was not too bad, sound like it will be 10- degrees colder... Brrr...
